The Skit: Chinese restaurant skit on “The Beast” from the Fugees’ 1999 album, The ScoreThe Punchline: Chinese restaurant owner: “This is a Chinese restaurant, but like Burger King, have it your way!”The Bottom Line: Slightly ignorant? Slightly racist? Slightly insensitive? Sure. But the Fugees pushed this skit just far enough to get a laugh (and a big laugh, at that) without going over the line.
